Win98se with firefox 2.something.
I don't think this is a OS/browser dependent problem.
It's just that I use a nonwhite background for my window panes in
Windows.
In Linux, using Konqueror or mozilla I get a white background because I
did not bother to change the default background there.
(This is a common mistake I've found on several websites. I guess it's
due to the fact that developers are keen to use a default white
background for their environment, so they won't notice the missin html
tag, or css line).

> 9.54)
You might want to try to change the windows's background color in
Windows display's properties (I guess win2k will behave in the same way
win98 does).
Here's what I see:
